That's very different then the upcoming tour where Lindsey agreed to participate and then decided that he wanted to re-work the tour schedule to accommodate his solo tour. In Stevie's case, she never agreed to something and then changed the plan. In Lindsey's case, he agreed to something and then wanted to change things around.

That's a bit of a logical fallacy though. So Lindsey could have initially refused to tour altogether, and he wouldn't have been fired? No, they definitely would have fired him for that.
Touring is more important to this band than recording, I get it. And I get Stevie never wanted to record with Lindsey again. But why does she get to refuse to do things, and no else in the band does?
All of the above about BuckVie is fine, but it's pretty obvious the one member who wasn't on the record prevented them from calling it a Fleetwood Mac record. Why wasn't it called a Fleetwood Mac record? 4 of 5 members are on it, and majority rules right?
There's a lot of contortions needed to justify Stevie's past refusals and Lindsey's firing at the same time. She held back the band from touring before too, but an outright refusal is okay? Just not trying to change plans that are already made? Makes no sense.
